Nutraceutical composition comprising a cucumber (cucumis sativus) extract

摘要

There is described a food supplement composition comprising a cucumber (Cucumis sativus) extract which in particular reduces the TNF-α level. Raw cucumber extract can inhibit the production of TNF-α in human blood without causing adverse immune reactions. It has therefore been shown that raw cucumber extract can be effectively used as food supplement product or as dietary supplement for a prolonged time for the prevention and treatment of TNF-α level dependant inflammation states.
